Allstate Business Development Associate (BDA) reviews

too many restrictions on the type of business you can write. extremely high rates for Brampton and G2 drivers.

-Expect to work overtime and lots of late nights if you hope to be successful -Poor work life balance because of the overtime mentioned above -Lack of support from direct managers and upper management. My direct manager often worked less than 20 hours a week leading to a very frustrating work environment -CCA's and head office staff act as a goalie when you are trying to activate a policy -If you want to be successful expect to compromise your morals occasionally. I have witnessed multiple policies being inflated to allow BDA's to meet plan because goals are based in premium dollars. -Very much a "What have you done for me today attitude", understandable if you consider that you can make 6 figures but leads to a cut throat office and a high pressure environment -Allstate has a low risk tolerance and is only interested in taking on "Ideal Clients" leaving BDA's with no choice but to mislead potential insurers by telling them they have to pay in full for the year to try and discourage them from coming on board. If we do write the policy we run the risk of doing poorly on our review and only getting half our quarterly bonus. -Inferior product offering. Only having $5000 in sewer back up is is unacceptable and forces BDA's to steam roll clients into signing a policy most people in their right mind would never consider accepting
